Good afternoon GRR family! We wish you a happy Presidents’ Day, and happy Black History Month. And an honor of Black History Month we would like to recognize our first and only black president Barack Obama. is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first African-American president in U.S. history. Obama previously served as a U.S. senator representing Illinois from 2005 to 2008, as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004, and as a civil rights lawyer and university lecturer.

Join us This Black History Month for a fun and enlightening brunch. We will have discussions, activities, and delicious soul food as well!

As We approach a month of celebration for the Black Community and their history in America, GoldenRule ReEntry would like to share some information leading into our upcoming event for February.
It is important to highlight Social Justice as much as we highlight it’s negative counterpart: Social Injustice. We can start by defining what social Justice is. “Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities”

My name is Karlis Williams. I am fundraising on behalf of receiving reliable transportation to go back and forth to work and also to wherever I need to be at any given time.

Long story in a nutshell…

I moved to Ashland, OR to be around supportive friends and sangha. Since I’ve been here, all had been well in my transition. No complaints.

I was in an accident on December 14th. My car was totaled in the accident. I’m grateful to still be here.

At the time I was volunteering for Golden Rule ReEntry, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. And they recently put me on the payroll. I am a Peer Support Specialist. I taxied participants to destinations and appointments. I ran the errands for Golden Rule ReEntry when we have events. Losing my vehicle was a total shock.

GRR would like to a big GOLDEN birthday 🥳 to one of our country’s most prevalent civil rights leaders! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. With that we share some facts about his life, career, and accomplishments! Thank you Dr. King Jr, as we continue to live in a remembrance to the dream you once had.

Good Morning GRR Family! Happy Monday! Let’s kick start our Motivational Monday!! Here are some motivational reminders to tackle this week!

Here at GRR we pride ourselves in our ability to provide care, connection, and community; which begins with a little kindness. November 13th is national kindness day where we spread kindness to those around. This could be done through acts, support, encouragement, or simply just a smile. Check out our story for some tips about kindness!
